A Year of Challenges - - - Question for you

Sounds like a few items are popular

1) use a swap item
2) use this color

I have received some suggestions that I really like, so here is the proposal: How about if we get some more member interaction by adding 2-3 member designed/thought out challenges (not the two above) each month? I know that my mind sometimes goes blank, and it is good to get some more ideas. Note: just because you come up with a challenge does not obligate you to provide prizes or come up with anything other than the idea.

It also does NOT disqualify you from participating. You still can enter just like everyone else and are eligible for prizes.

If we do the above

All challenges need to be approved by me prior to publication.

Whoever gives the challenge will need to check the thread two days before and until the time is up to post the challenge for questions.

What do you think?

Sounds like a great idea!

sounds good-I love challenges.

sounds good - i'll help - have lots of ideas swimming around in my head

Challenges are always so fun but I keep myself so busy with swaps, I forget about them. The neat thing about challenges is that we get to see some more creativity and have fun earning prizes.

I've never done a challenge, but was talking to mom about them and I do have some interesting ideas! Would love to help out.

I'm in! I love challenges.

Whoo Hoo - Thanks so much, everyone!!!

I'll take a spot anytime after May ... by then I should have figured out the whole concept

Any month should work for me.

Ok - will assign you both

Thanks so much!

I'll take december. will i get a reminder

sure thing

Thanks!

i'll take March!

You got it! Thanks

I would love to give it a try -- April please! WOO HOO! We're having fun now. Thanks Lucinda for all that you do.

You got it! Thanks

I'd love to do February if it's still available... if not any other month will do.

You got it! Thanks

When would be a good time to PM you with my ideas for approval- now, or closer to the month I'll be doing?

Whenever you want is fine

That way you can keep a running list of ideas to choose from if you want.

If and when you take doubles- I'll take another month

Oh my goodness, look how everyone took off on this one. Challenges are really popular and I have missed out on a lot of fun by not doing them. Not this coming year though! I'll be right there in the front row seat soaking up every detail. LOL.

I'll take June - if we can do doubles

I will take May if open

I can do April, if you need someone to take over. I might not be around for a couple of days the first week in April, but I can make that week easy

Helen - thanks! That would be great. You don't have to be around for the whole month. Usually, about a week before the month starts, you just email (or pm) me your challenges No rush/worries that way

Sounds good!

Hey Lucinda

I think you missed Karen's and my post above (about taking May & June for you) - just reposting

Updated - thanks - yep - did not see them
